Event outline:
The CILIP Information Literacy Group are pleased to announce a joint training session with the NoWAL consortium
on the theme of IL. The day includes an opportunity for librarians in the North West to hear from the winners of the
Information Literacy Practitioner of the Year award. James Fraser, at Cumbria University, will be talking about the
library’s work which led to Kim McGowan being named IL Practitioner of the year, and the runner up for this year’s
award, Michelle Schneider will be presenting about the Leeds@Library pages which won the 2012 Credo Reference
Digital Award for IL.
Alongside the practitioner talks are two talks that proved hugely popular at this year’s LILAC: Antony Osborne talking
about the work done with nursing students at Huddersfield University and Rosie Jones discussing the wider remit of
the University of Manchester’s Learning Commons. Throughout the day there will be the chance to discuss good
practice with other delegates and reflect upon bringing the work done elsewhere back to your home institutions.
The day will also provide an important networking opportunity and a chance to explore the feasibility for future
collaborative working partnerships.
